Thanks Ran. It is a lot of fun to run on even though it's kinda short. 37.5' outside and 36' inside. Once I get some more rubber down on it will be much better. Pretty happy with the way it has turned out.

Default Proxy cars r done so.....

Decided to change these turns a bit. Haven't liked it since I finished it. And pukplyr got the router juices flowing also. May decide to redo another section also. Then I think the next change will be some elevation but not much. I want to get rid of this grass mat and do something a little different. It has been a pain to get to stay down.

Rusty, I have just read all 7 pages of the track build. Very very clean piece of work.

It is interesting how change becomes necessary after a while....keep at it.

Good things take time, so I'm told.

Thanks a lot John. Appreciate it. Trying to make it a little better to run on. Didn't know how it was going to be or expect when I did it. First one. Hopefully do a bigger one some day.


Hope you are enjoying you trip.

Rusty

Yeah I can see why you'd like to change the radius of those two turns!! But that's the great thing about routed tracks---you CAN make it do what you like!! Nice job--and keep having fun with it!!

Yeah they were no fun. A real pain actually. Three like that was to much. Probably leave the other for now. Thanks Tim.

Hi David, Yeah should make for a better drive. Those sharp turns sucked. Still not 100% on the elevation though. Have to see how it goes with all the filling and sanding that needs done. If I feel like digging out the screw that are holding it down.


Thanks
Rusty
